Grand Juries in D.C. Reject Wave of Charges Under Trump’s Crackdown
Alan Feuer
I’m a reporter covering extremism and political violence for The New York Times.
What I Cover
My focus is on the criminal cases involving the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and against former President Donald J. Trump.
My Background
I have been writing about crime and criminal justice for The New York Times since 1999, covering cases involving the Mafia, Mexican drug cartels, murders and corrupt police officers and politicians.

Here is the direct quote in the excerpt that was taken FROM the above article -
In what could be read as a citizens’ revolt, ordinary people serving on grand juries have repeatedly refused in recent days to indict their fellow residents who became entangled in either the president’s immigration crackdown or his more recent show of force. It has happened in at least seven cases — including three times for the same defendant.
Raw Story does 3 things -
1.) They report on/summarize other news sites' articles (many that originate on paywalled sites, which makes it easier to get content)
2.) They have reporters/columnists/writers from various other media and blogsites who contribute an article
3.) They have their staff actually sit there and watch the political news/commentary shows/podcasts and will summarize them
There is nothing nefarious about concluding that a series of recent Grand Juries
in D.C. have FAILED to result in indictments for the mess that Pirro has sent to them, and that this circumstance could effectively be considered "a revolt" (by the citizens of the city of Washington D.C. - at least those who were called to serve out of a random pool).
And this has now happened in at least 7 cases, which is extraordinarily rare because Grand Juries ARE handled by Prosecutors and the defendants have no say, so they have a full court press.
